My Deepest Sympathy and Condolences go out to the Whelan Family. Peter, Jr. I was so sorry to hear and read of your Father's passing. I use to enjoy visiting and seeing him at Diamond Ridge when I Entertained up there, and he always lent a helping hand, whenever they were setting up for some Activities, or to help clean up afterwards, and was very appreciated by the Staff there, I am sure. At least he was the "Friendly Face" there, when I did Entertain. I know he is at Peace now, and know that I have fond memories of visiting all of you, for a cookout, or holiday,when you were in Scouts, as were my sons. That was a long time ago, but fond memories are never forgotten. God Bless !

Good-Bye to a long time wonderful friend.

Don will be going North on Sunday for the week deer hunting and I have a 10:00 a.m. yearly appointment with my opthamologist which I can't cancel at this late date; otherwise, you know I would have attended his funeral mass. Please accept our deepest sympathies.
